TO THE PUBLIC.
Card From she Proprietor of the
 East Rock Line.

A Card From she Proprietor of the
 East Rock Line.
 In view of the fact that a number of my patrons have been deceived by one Thomp- son, who drives a wagon very similar to
 mine, have felt that the statement of the
 following facts is due to the public: year or more since my friends in the
 city urged me to come into the city and run wagon for the transportation of passengers between the city and East Rock Park. Upon inquiry found that there was one Thomp- son who had started wagon for said pur- pose, but failed to get sufficient travel to sustain his undertaking (due to the fact that | unless he could get full load he would not go at alD So accustomed had the people | become to this method of doing business that I when started last May to run almost every l person who inquired about it asked me how many they must insure me in order to make a trip But my answer was that the driver | and team would go whether there were any l passengers or not This so pleased them | that I very soon began to be patronized. The | fare I put at forty cents for the round trip, leaving the balance of ten cents to pay horse car fare from any part of the city and return, | as fifty conts had always been the price until | this line was started.
 | Mir. Thompson freely declared, am told, | that could not earn my salt at so low fare | and predicted my speedy downfall. But ey- l idently he has thought differently of late, for l he has commenced to run at the regular fare l and takes advantage of my advertisements, appearing on the corner just ahead of my l advertised hour and in the place which
 through the kindness of MT. Klock l have been privileged to occupy.
 Now it would seem reasonable that after
 Mr. Thompson had given up the business for at least three months the public would be l better accommodated and he better paid if he would start from some other corner and build up route on his own merits | The object of this is to put matters in the fair light before the public, and then they can be the best judges of who is most worthy | of patronage.
 | Now if I have failed to make fair and | impartial statement of the facts would be ! thankful to Mir. Thompson if he would in. form the public wherein it lies.
 l Thanking the public fer their liberal pat ronage in the past, remain very respectful ly, Your obedient servant,

GRADE CROSSINGS.

Governor Lounsbury Considering the
 Advisability of Calling a Special Ses-
 sion of the Legislature.
 NoRwALK, Conn.,, Oct. 10.-By appoint ment made last Saturday the representatives of the towns of Norwalk, Westport and Fair field met Governor Lounsbury at the Mahke- kemo hotel, South Norwalk, this morning. Senator Hill stated the reason for request ing the interview, and introduced Attorney J. H. Light, who read the petition of the mayor and council of South Norwalk, fur ther indorsed by more than two hundred citizens of the city, asking for special ses- sion of the legislature to act on the grade crossing question. Senator Hill presented the petition of the town of Norwalk, Messrs. Glover and Adams the petition of Fairfield, and Attorney John s. Seymour the petition of the warden and burgesses of the borough of Norwalk to the same effect. MT. B. w. Naples informally stated that the town of Westport would have likewise petitioned had sufficient notice been had, and Senator Hill further appeared for the Thirteenth senato- rial district. Owing to the brief time allow ed by the Governors engagements the argu- ments of all these speakers were very brief, but covered the more important points of the subject. Governor Lounsbury stated that the only question with him is whether the emergency is such as to require special session of the General Assembly. He said:
 If it shall appear will assume the responsibil- ity of calling the members together and then leave the matter with them. cannot give an immediate answer, but do not think the railroad commis- sioners will act while have this matter under con- sideration So far as have power to prevent 1t no injustice shall be done to the people of this State am not familiar with this subject; am purposely not familiar, for desired that the facts might be collected in order that with them before me might determine what is necessary. But want all of the convening of the legislature they shall have it, and shall request the railroad commissioners not to render any decif ion while have this matter under consideration Should they not heed this request their action will influence uine and shall act promptly.
 The Governor then stated that he would grant further hearing at any time it should be desired. The petition of the selectmen of Fairfield was endorsed by the unanimous vote of town meeting called for that pur- pose. A town meeting in Stratford will vote on the same subject to-day.

HOW to Select a Wife,

Good health, good morals. good sense and good temper are the four essentials for a good wife. These are the indispensables After them come the minor advantages of good looks, accomplishments, family posi- tion, etc. With the first four, married life will be comfortable and happy. Lacking either it will be in more or less degree fail ure. Upon good health depends largely good temper and good looks and to some extent good sense also, as the best mind must be affected more or less by the weakness and whims attendant on frail health. Young man, if your wife is falling into state of inyalidism, first of all things try to restore her health. If she is troubled with debilita- ting female weaknesses, buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It will cure her.

Tho Bodies Recovered.

VIRGINIA, New, July 10.-About
o'clock this morning the bodies of the
six miners whe were imprisoned in the
Best & Belcher mine were found. The
first one was on the right side of the old
north drift, several hundred feet from
the station. The next was about nine
feet farther north. Two others were
found few feet apart. The last two
were lying together near the top of the
drift on dirt that had caved in. The
faces of the men were badly discolored,
The air in the shaft was so foul that the
search party could only remain a mo
ment at the point where the bodies
were found. By frequent shifts and
steady work all the bodies were to-day
brought to the top of the winze and
carefully wrapped in canvass. An effort
is making to bring them to the top OF
the shaft tonight but owing to many
impediments in the way of the caved
establishments, this may not be &C
complished before tomorrow.
The bodies of the miners are all on
top of the ground. The boxes in which
they are nailed have been buried in ice.
1t is said that in handling one or two
bodies they literally dropped to pieces.
The body in each box is labelled
Doubtful" but it is thought this is a
device to quiet the excitement. The

ond round, hotly contested. hewitt
struck Dempsey stunning blow in the
temple breaking his hand, hewitt re-
ceiving a terrible blow on the right side.
The third round was the bIoodiest,
hewitt doing little fighting, acting
mainly on the defensive. His nose was
broken and right eye badly battered by
Dempsey, and he received bad cut on
the head. The round clo3ed by Demp-
sey knocking him out of the ring.
hewitt being unable to rise, and Demp
sey being declared winner. The match
was for $50 side and gate money.

A Candidate for Bemp.

New YORK, July 1.-THE sioop
yacht mystery lett Ruffies Bar last
evening loaded almost .to the gunwales
with women and children. When on
Barren Island en- route for Csnarsie,
the Yacht capsized and only thirteen
of forty souls composing her passengers
and crew are known to have been
rescued. The party was made up
chiefly of German families resident in
BROOKLYN and Long Island City. When
the passengers of the Mystery and Chris
tiana gathered on the pier to embark
for Canarsis, so many men of the
party showed the effects of the beer
that they had drank that the shippers
thought best to put the women and
children aboard the Mystery, which rates
as a much safer boat than her consort.
The women protested, but the protest
was unheeded. Captain Hendriekson,
of the Mystery, said he was going to get
to Canarsle first or blow g. stick out.
Reef knots were unfastened and the
boom dropped just as squat of con-
siderable violence struck the sail; in
second she was on her beam ends and
all the people were struggling in the
choppy sea. Fully half the drowned
people were children. a negro in row
boat pulled out from the shore and
succeeded in saving seven lives, and
tug which was in the vicinity saved SIX.
